5. Correspondence with [REDACTED]
After arriving at ADX, Kaczynski, who had never had a girlfriend, began to correspond with several different women and was stunned by how bold their letters could be.
[...] In your letter you stated that you could tell me some stories about girls and you that would raise my eyebrows. I doubt it. Since my arrest three years ago I’ve learned things that have raised my eyebrows so far that they’ve gone all the way over the top of my head and are halfway down my back by now, so raising them any further would actually lower them. [...]
[…] to a lasting residue of anger that persists as long as 10 or 12 years after the abuse has ended?
Can unresolved anger lead to sadomasochistic sexual impulses?
Since my arrest, many women have written to me seeking a relationship, and I’ve taken up a correspondence with a couple of them. One young woman who has, by her own account, a very tragic history. Her father died when she was a kid, her mother remarried, and her stepfather abused her sexually over a period of years. The first time she went to the authorities about it they refused to believe her (perhaps because her stepfather had such a respectable career — he was a high-class engineer who designed nuclear bombs and missiles). They thought her claims of sexual abuse were a delusion, so they doped her up on some type of anti-psychotic medication. When she was 16, she again went to the authorities about the abuse, and this time she was believed. They made her stepfather undergo “counseling” and they put her in a foster home. She says the foster parents were Christians of a rigid type who subjected her to psychologically painful conditions, and at the same time she was being rejected by her peers in high school.
Today she has no close friends (though physically she is extremely attractive-she’s sent me pictures), and she is desperately hungry for love and intimacy — and sex. She says she has “found herself” through writing to me because she trust me to lend a sympathetic ear, and she never previously had anyone to whom she could unburden herself. I find her letters rather disturbing, because she devotes a considerable part of them to sex fantasies of the grossest kind-including a great deal of sadomasochism, which turns me off. She says that until she got infatuated with me (through the media) her sexual desires were exclusively lesbian. But she’s never had a sexual relationship with anyone (except her stepfather). She apparently experiences very frequent and intense. sexual arousal, and she describes her masturbatory activities to me in detail.
Even though her letters make me uncomfortable, I like this young woman, because when she’s not writing about sex she shows that she’s a very sensitive and tender person who’s been very badly hurt. My heart goes out to her, and I wish I could do more for her than just lend a sympathetic ear.
What is the usual prognosis in a case like this? Got any ideas that might be helpful?
Best regards,
Ted
P.S. I apologize for the roughness and disjointedness of this letter. It’s a first draft written in haste. —T.
[...] Thanks for the info about abuse, sadomasochism, etc, The young lady in question is currently in a mess, and, to judge from the action she’s taken, she doesn’t have the strength of will to pull herself out of it. When I get a copy of it made I’ll send you her latest letter, so you can see what I mean. I’m writing to her and advising her to go to the student counseling service where she goes to school (she’s a college student) or to some such agency, and get a referral to some sort of women’s support group, women’s organization, women’s shelter, or something along those lines. But I question whether shell follow my advice. As a shrink, what would you suggest? Could you, for example, by punching few computer keys, come up with the name of some women’s group in or near Wichita Kansas that could help this lady? Of course, you’ll have to wait till you get mail copy of her letter——I’ll try to send it to you within a couple of days after I mail this.
I find myself wondering, how did I get into this? It’s not as if I didn’t have enough troubles of my own to worry about, and now l have to hold the hand of this human wreck who has turned to me for support. Obviously I can’t drop her now when she’s down and miserable, so I guess I’m stuck with her. Anyway, I’d appreciate any advice you may be able to give as to how to get this woman some support that’s more effective than what I can offer. [...]

Dear [REDACTED],
Thanks for your letter of Sept 12. I too prefer the tall trees of the west. On the other hand some of those stumpy little trees of the east do offer some advantages—such as hickory, and Osage orange.
I agree that your interpretation of that bible quote make much better sense than the chaplain’s does.
My foot has recovered, but I still haven’t got a decent pair of shoes.
The answer to that conundrum is—the foot men were professional musicians.
Remember [REDACTED]? She sent me a photo of herself, and I’m passing it to you so you can see what she looks like, in case you’re curious.
Speaking of photos, remember [REDACTED]? The lady who wrote me the x-rated letters? She has sent me some photos of herself —scantily clad. Wow! What a body! And her letters are more x-rated than ever. Her sex fantasies are really extreme— they would make a sailor blush. They include lots of sadomasochism, which turns me off.
But we shouldn’t smile at [REDACTED] sexual proclivities, since they probably are a result of her very tragic history. She tells me that her father died when she was a little girl, her mother remarried, and her stepfather abused her sexually for years. The first time she told the authorities about it they wouldn’t believe her. They thought it was a delusion and forced her to take some kind of antipsychotic medication. Some years later she again went to the authorities. This time they believed her, made her stepfather undergo counselling, and put her in a foster-home, where she says, she was abused psychologically. At the same time she suffered rejection from her peers in high school, a common fate of abused kids. She writes movingly about these painful memories. I understand that becoming sexualized is a common reaction among girls who are abused sexually. Looks as if that happened to Ms [REDACTED]. My heart goes out to that woman and I wish I could alleviate her pain.
Best regards — Ted

Dear [REDACTED]
I got your letter November 6 today. It goes without saying that I’m extremely sorry to hear about horrible situation you’re in. I will try to telephone you on Sunday, November 15 at about noon, your time — at [REDACTED]. But things sometimes go wrong around then so it’s possible I may not be able to make the call. If you don’t get the call, just remember that it was not because I didn’t care enough to call, something went wrong at you but because wasn’t able to use the phone.
[REDACTED] I think it’s a very bad deal for you to be living with a man who is mean to you. You ought to try to get out of that situation as soon as you can. Would you be Financially able to get a room for yourself? Even if it’s only just a tiny little room it will be better than living with your ex-husband if he continues saying cruel things is you. There must be some sort of women’s organizations, women’s support groups, or a women’s shelter—Something like that-around Wichita where they would give you practical help in finding a way to survive without having to depend on your ex-husband. Try looking in the yellow pages for Women’s support groups or something along those lines. If you don’t find anything there, your school must have some sort of counseling services for students, and I imagine there’s a good chance they would be able to refer you to some type of women’s organization or women’s Support group where you. could get practical help.
In any case, don’t give up — Keep trying until you can find some way to get away from that man who treats you so badly. And remember with you all the way. Write me as soon as you can, let me know how things are going and how you’re getting along. Bear in mind that it can’t do any harm to try some women’s organization; they may be able to give you a let of help.
You’re strong, and I think you’ll survive this; but I know that it’s very, very difficult. I’ll try to give you all the support I can, given my circumstances.
Warm regard
Ted
P.S. Since you say you have a few thousand dollars, it’s not clear to me why you should have to move in with your ex-husband. You could get rid of your car (cars are expensive to maintain),get yourself a little room somewhere, take a leave of absence from school and just work until you get back on your feet financially. That would delay your education, but it would be a lot better than being in an abusive relationship. I think it is a big mistake to live with a man who treats you like dirt.
—Ted
P.P.S Here are some other sources that may be able to refer you to women’s support groups; look in the yellow pages for community mental-health services, or public assistance, or the public health department or even just call any hospital, and there’s a good chance that any of these agencies will be able to refer you to a women’s support group.
—Ted
P.P.P.S. Right now it looks as if I won’t be able to call you on Sunday, November 15. I’ll try, but if I can’t, then I’ll probably be able to call you or Sunday, November 22. Twelve noon, your time.
Warm regard

November [ILLEGIBLE], 1998
Dear [REDACTED]
I got your letter on November 11. I was really worried about you, because from your preceding letter it sounded as if things were so bad that I was afraid you might not be able to hold up under it. In your letter of the 11th you sound as if you’re holding up alright, though. From your point of view, I guess it’s considerable advantage that you and your ex-husband “rarely see each other”, as you wrote.
It still sounds like an ugly situation, though, and still think you should get in touch with a women’s support group. They might, for example, be able to find someone you can room with, so that you won’t have to stay with that mean S.O.B.
You don’t have to be afraid that I’ll stop writing to you. I care about you If it ever happens that you don’t hear from me for a while, it will only mean that I’m swamped with work — legal stuff, the book I want to publish, that sort of thing. But I won’t forget you, and I’ll always get back 5 you eventually.
I’m still planning to call you at about 12:00-- your time, on Sunday, November 22. But remember, if I don’t call, it’s not because I didn’t try, but because something went wrong. Things usually do go wrong around here.
I’m still somewhat worried about you. You must be unusually strong be able to keep functioning with all the difficulties you’re having. Please try to find a women’s group that can help you. As I mentioned in my last letter, the student counselling service at the University can probably refer you to a suitable women’s group.
Okay then— try to survive as bet you can and I hope we’ll be able to speak to one another on Sunday, In answer to your question, yes, 1 am curious hear your voice
Warm regard
Ted
P.S. Have you hand anything from the Post Office about our mail problem? I haven’t. I sent you Thanksgiving card, not certified. Please let me know whether you receive it.

-P.S. I sent the card before I received that last letter of your old address.

[...] MY WARMEST HUG & KISS,
OH, P.S. COULD YOU TELL ME IF YOU LIKE MY PERFUME?

August 27, 1998
Dear [REDACTED]
In answer to the first question you asked — in your letter of August 14, no, I don’t think you’re being foolish. But you should realize that I there’s not much chance you’ll ever be able to have physical contact with me. It’s not likely you’ll be able to meet with me with a pane of glass between us. I’m not being allowed to put on my visiting list anyone with whom I had no relationship prior to incarceration I’m appealing this decision, but I’m not optimistic about the outcome.
Here’s a word you can put on your license plate: MONTANA.
You asked whether I like your perfume, as dabbed on your letter. Well, I suppose you want an honest answer — so, the truth is that I don’t like any perfume.
As to your letter of August 21, you’re right — true friends are very hard to find. Among other things, true friendship would mean complete honesty, and that’s rare. I don’t think the search for love is hopeless, but on the other hand it’s certainly not easy. Don’t give up on it. I think you’re strong and persistent — that’s shown by the way you exercise to keep yourself in shape and by the tough academic schedule you’ve taken on.
[REDACTED], I wish I could give you move of the friendship that you want, but, as explained above, I can’t get you on my visiting list, and, as far as correspondence is concerned, I can’t write to you, very much
[REDACTED], I’m sorry that I can’t write to you more, but I’m so burdened with work. For example, there are two people writing books that are partly about me, and I have to provide them with large amounts of information in order to make sure that the books will be accurate,
I’m sick to death of seeing falsehoods printed about me.
You’re a very sensitive, intelligent, attractive person— physically very attractive, too, as your photos show—and if you persist in the search for friendship and love I think you’ll find them. I’ll give you as much of them as I can under the circumstances, and believe me, the fact that you care about me as much as you do is important to me.
Right now I’ll have to get back to writing letters on “business”- that is, practical letters — but I hope that some day I’ll have time to write you at length
Meanwhile, be assured that I welcome your letters and that you can express your feelings to me freely and without embarrassment. I will never think less of you for expressing your feelings, no matter how unconventional such expression may be.
In Friendship,
Ted.
September 12, 1998
Dear [REDACTED]
First order of business: l sent you a letter dated August 27, 1998. Please let me know whether you’ve received it. You’ll recall that we recently had a problem in that regard— two of my letters never reached you. Am l correct in you never did receive either of there o letters?
Second order of business : The Labadie Collection, part of the University, of Michigan Library, wants my personal papers, including personal letters. Do you have any objection if I send them your letters? The letters would remain sealed (i.e., no one would have access to them) until the year 2015; after that any scholar wanting to do research on me would be able to read them.
There is also a very slim chance that prior to 2015 someone might get access to the letters on a Freedom of Information Net request. So please let me know whether you want me to send your letters to the Labadie Collection.
So much for business. As for the photographs of yourself that you sent — you have a splendid body! Beautiful! I’ve never seen a better one.
In your letter of August 28 you asked me if I thought you were being nutty. the answer is no—not at all. You also asked in your letter of August 28,“Have you ever felt lonely for someone? Like, you long to hold someone, kiss them...Yes, I have. I know what you’re going through, because when I was in college I had a terrible crush on a girl, and I couldn’t work up the nerve to make advances to her. I really suffered.
Chris, I’m not getting tired of reading of your wants and fantasies — so put your mind at rest on that score. Feel free to express yourself to me as much as you want.
I turn now to your letter of September 4,
So you’re taking Russian! It’s a very tough language. Let me know how it goes.
I was very amused by your description of the crackpot women’s studies class. “The left would be hilariously funny if they weren’t so seriously set on imposing their nonsense on everyone else. You wrote:” Over Time, words and their connotative meanings change, so… we should probably remodify [the language] every 5–10 years, since the new non-derogatory term will likely take on a bad/offensive connotation in the future. Does my argument make sense to you or not? Your argument makes very good sense. The word “handicapped” was originally used as a non-offensive substitute for the word “crippled” But “handicapped” eventually acquired the same offensive which has now been replaced in turn by surprised if the word “disability” becomes politically incorrect in 20 or 30 years.
You asked, if I could get out of here tomorrow, would I meet you if only for a chat over a cup of coffee? Of course I would. [REDACTED], I like you, and I like you better as I get to know you better “ What I’m talking about is something really close, intimate, intensely sexual, the type of relationship trust and respect was unquestionable. Is this unreasonable or unrealistic? No, I don’t think it’s unreasonable or unrealistic but such relationships are not very easy to find, and usually it takes some time to develop such a relationship.
[REDACTED],you write about the way you’ve been you can’t forgive the people who have hurt you. Not for a moment would I blame you for not forgiving them. When someone has been hurt as badly as you have, it would be an additional cruelty, to expect her to forgive the people who have hurt her. There are cases in which is unreasonable to expect forgiveness. If the people who have hurt you were to come to you and humble themselves, acknowledge the harm they had done you, and sincerely beg your forgiveness, then it would be time to think about Forgiving them.
But until then I don’t think you should feel guilty about not forgiving.
Toward the end of your Sept. 4 letter you wrote, “Through hewing written w you, I have found myself, since I have been genuinely honest and at ease while sharing with you — I can be me.
“I’m very pleased and flattered that I’ve been of benefit to you in this way. Remember that you can always feel free to Tell me anything without embarrassment. l will listen to it all with respect and sympathy. [REDACTED], I can appreciate your pain because I’m hurting too... every time I think about the mountains of Montana.
By the way, in case you didn’t get my letter of August 27, I gave you that special asked for: MONTANA.
I’m going to send you this letter by certified mail to make sure that you get it—for a change. Please be sure you don’t forget to tell me in your next letter whether you got my letter dated August 27. If you didn’t, I think it will be tine to file a complaint with the Post Office.
Warm regards,
Ted Kaczynski
P.S. I’ll read the special note that you enclosed, at 10:00 PM tonight, Saturday, Sept 12, as you requested.
-Ted
P.P.S. I read the special message at 10:00 PM, as promised. I thought it was beautiful. I did make a wish. What I wished was that I may some day go back to the mountains of Montana. And if I ever do, you’ll be welcome to join me there, if you like.
Ted
October 11, 1998
Dear [REDACTED]
I’ve been worrying about you. Your letters seem to indicate that your sexual excitability is becoming more acute. Is it something you can’t control? Please understand that I’m not at all offended by the sexual things that you write to me, and you’re welcome to unload those feelings on me as much as you like, and any other feelings as well. But I wonder whether sex isn’t taking over your life. How do you feel about this?
In your letters of 9/11/98 and 9/15/98 you indicate that you’re not interested in being part of conventional society and that school for you is just something that fills an otherwise empty life.! can certainly sympathize with those feelings, since I once had similar feelings myself. Lack of any fulfilling purpose or direction in life is a very widespread problem in our society. (Is sex, like school, something that fills a vacuum in your life?)
You talk about leaving school to be near me.! suggest that for the time being you should stay in school. For one thing, There’s no way in the would that the prison authorities would let you in here to visit me. They’re letting no one see me except attorneys, and I don’t know when that will change, if ever. For another thing, it’s best not to drop school until you know what else you’re going to fill your life with.
I’ve been thinking about you a lot, wondering what you could do with your life that would satisfy your needs better than school and a routine career. Maybe if we both think about it and discuss it we can find some worthwhile direction for your life to take. Have you ever felt drawn toward nature, the outdoors, wilderness? Apart from sex, is there anything that you dream about or want to do?
Did it ever occur to you to write the story of your life? If you did, I would read it with interest.
In your letter of 10/2/98 you asked whether there was any possible way you could have sex with me. Unfortunately, as I indicated above, there’s not even any way you can visit me. I’m afraid it’s just hopeless. As far as sex is concerned, though, I have to tell you frankly that I’m not at all attracted to sadomasochistic stuff.
Also in your letter of 10/2/98 you offered to remain celibate for me. There’s no need for that. If you should establish a sex relationship or a love relationship with someone else, I can promise you that I won’t care about you any less or like you any less than I do now.
As for the Russian language, yes, I did study it a little some years ago, but if I wrote you anything in Russian I don’t know how long it would take this letter to reach you. Inmates here are allowed to write letters in foreign languages, but since the authorities here are afraid that someone might try to pass secret messages that way, everything in a foreign language has to be translated before they will send it 1 doubt that they have anyone here who knows
Russian, so they would probably have to send the letter somewhere to be Translated and it would be a month of Sundays before you would get it.
I congratulate you, though, on getting an A on your first Russian exam.
Your letter of complaint to the post office was good. Let me know what answer they give you. If they give you a lot of bullshit, don’t let the matter drop. Write to the Postmaster General in Washington if necessary. There is something seriously wrong when the post office loses three letters from me to you in a short period of time. I’ll continue sending my letters t you by certified mail until this problem gets worked out. Thanks for the $30 ,by the way. If I don’t use it all up on certified letters before the problem gets solved, I’ll return the surplus to you.
*
[REDACTED], remember that I care a lot about you.
Warm regards
T.
P.S. I read your paper for the Women’s Studies class, and I think you did a very good job of debunking all that silly nonsense about making the English language politically correct. You’re doing pretty well to get an A- when you take a point of view antagonistic to that of the instructor.
-T.
October 18,1998
Dear [REDACTED]
In response to your letter of 10/3/18 — I will see if I can get a “tracer” put on the lost letters. But I don’t know whether the authorities here will let me do what is necessary. When I ask permission for anythings the answer is usually “no”
Yes, I can tell that you’re warm and have a lot to offer. You wrote, “I do have to use the word ‘soul’, since I don’t exactly know what that is, and if I do have one, well, it’s probably pretty dark.”
I’m enough of a materialist[1] so that I doubt the existence of a soul in the religious sense. I take the word to mean one’s innermost feelings, the kind of person one is deep inside. You say your soul is probably dark, but that’s not how i see you. I think that the deepest part of your soul is bright and shining, like a star. The dark part is
only the outer shell, a kind of callas or scar formed as a result of the inexcusable way you were treated. I think you’ve right when you say that you’re strong, and I think that as time goes by you will slowly recover from the pain that was inflicted on you, and the bright star shine through move and more. I think you’re capable of love generosity, courage, and noble actions.
You wrote, “You may laugh… when you wrote about your feelings toward me. “ Believe me, I will never laugh at anything you tell me (unless you make jokes). I take you and your feelings very seriously.
I appreciate your desire to move to Colorado in order to be able to visit me, and I’d be very glad to receive visits from you if that were possible, but, at least for the present, there’s no hope of that. The situation is this: I’m not allowed to have any visits except from attorneys, media people, or people whom I knew before my arrest on April 3, 1996. I’m appealing this issue administratively within the Bureau of Prisons in an effort to get the right to put on my visiting list people whom I came to know only after my arrest. However, I’m not optimistic about the outcome. After my administrative appeals are exhausted, I may be able to take legal action on the issue, but I have no idea what the outcome of such a court case would be. In any event, it will probably be a long time—maybe years—before the question is finally resolved, and meanwhile there’s no possible way you could get in here to visit me. (Unless maybe you go to law school, become an attorney, and represent me in a case!) So, for the present, there wouldn’t be any point in your moving to Colorado.
Now to turn to your letter of 10/9/98–Did I like the snapshots of yourself that you sent? I certainly did! [REDACTED], you are an extremely attractive woman. Your face is beautiful and your body is simply fantastic. (Further on in your letter you implied that you thought your breasts were small I don’t think they’re small-I think they’re just right.)
You asked me whether it was alright to tell Catherine why you’re having her take pictures of you. You can tell her if you’re quite certain that she will keep her mouth shut about it and not tell even her husband. But otherwise I wouldn’t advise it. I’m concerned about this more for your sake than for mine. So many bad things have already been published about me that the journalists can’t hurt me much more than they already have.
But if the media ever get wind of a rumor that you’re sending me scantily-clad photos of yourself, it may destroy your privacy completely. The fact that you’re so beautiful may make you much more an object of media attention than you would be otherwise, and it’s possible you might be hounded by reporters or photographers.
You asked — what would it involve if I ever got back to Montana and you joined me there? I would show you the mountains. You would sling a pack on your back and we would take a long walk— many days. I would show you what plants ave good to eat, how to find game, and how to make a warm, snug camp when the weather turns cold and rainy. With your fine, athletic body I think you would take very well to a rugged outdoor life, and you would learn how good it is to be free as a bird amongst the woods and the wild mountains.
You asked me to write you something sexy. [REDACTED],I’m not going do that and I’m not going to tell you anything about my sexual feelings, because this letter will be read by officers.
From your letter of 10/9/98 I gather that you want to know more about my feelings toward you, so I’ll try to explain them as honestly as I can.
It goes without saying that I find you sexually attractive — any heterosexual man would. But, as I explained earlier, I’m not going to talk about my sexual feelings. Quite apart from sex, I have warm feelings toward you. I like you, care about you, and I worry about you. I keep wondering what would be good for you. There must be something more for you than a relationship with a man whom you may never be able to meet face to face. I’m not suggesting that I would want to reject such a relationship. On me contrary, I’m pleased and flattered by your admiration and I enjoy it. But there must be something more for you than just a relationship with me, and I keep thinking about what direction you should take in order to have a worthwhile and satisfying life. Getting out of civilization and into the wild country was what i needed, but individuals differ and don’t know whether what worked for me would work for you. If you want friends, I can introduce you to people. You might or might not like them, but you may want to give it a try If you want to get involved in a cause, I can put you in touch with environmental radicals who are working against the system. Is there any thing you want, besides me?
I don’t share your interest in sadomasochism (or punishment, if you want to call it that). When I think of sex, I think of a tender and loving relationship.
Will I ever come to love you? That’s question I can’t answer. I have no idea how, if at all, our relationship will develop.
I should let you know that you aren’t the only woman with whom I have a personal relationship. While I was confined in the Sacramento County Jail there was a paralegal, M., on my defense team who visited me frequently and gave me much more than her professional services. She gave me affection and friendship. She was an angel of mercy to me, and I will always be deeply grateful to her for it. But my relationship with her is not sexual.
There are some women with whom I correspond without having any close personal relationship with them, but there is only one other woman, J., I correspond on a really personal basis. I like her, and I think she needs me as much as you do, though probably for different reasons.
[REDACTED], you wrote me in one of your letters that you were inclined to jealousy, but I hope you will try not to be jealous of M. and J. They wouldn’t be jealous of you. I owe a debt gratitude to M., and I will maintain relationship with J. as long as she needs. And I make that promise to you, too—I’ll be your friend as long as you need me.
You asked me what was my favorite song. My taste runs to classical music, and my favorite music probably Antonio Vivaldi’s “L’Estro Armonico” The Harmonic Summer). If you want to know what my favorite song is, I suppose it might be one of the songs from Handel’s “Messiah, or maybe “Attendite Popule Meus (Listen, My People), by Heinrich Schütz.

Security breach: On the evening of Nov 29, 1996, I had finished my running and my stretch exercises when the door of 7th floor West opened and 3 lady prisoners came up the stairs. When they saw me they laughed, said "The Unabomber's out there!" and went back inside. I still had a few minutes of exercise time left, but instead of taking that time I went back inside so that the ladies could use the rec area. I'm so chivalrous!
